Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post so please take it easy on me !
My question is regarding gear boxes, and what I want to know is, what is the gear box that you would consider to be the gearbox that would give the 'purest driving' possible?
I'm talking about a gearbox that the driver has to do everything in (as opposed to sequential gearboxes and autos).
I have heard about synchromesh gear boxes and Dogboxes, but are there any further types of transmissions similar to these?
The reason for my question is that I want to put a gearbox into a rally car that will require me to do everything in the gear shifts (hence a 'pure' driving technique), but still be strong enough to with stand all the beating that it will take.
I have read that Dogboxes are good for this, but some sources say you can't change gear like in a synchro, where you lift off the throttle and use the clutch on shifting, but others say you should?
Also would a synchromesh gearbox not be suited to rallying?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
